Woolly thoughts (and fuzzy logic)

Sometimes I sits and knits, and sometimes I just sits.

  • My other stuff

Good, bad, whatever

10 May 2021 woollythinker1 Comment

Good thing: back to school after two weeks of holiday with very little to keep kids occupied (because plague, and rain, and friends either sick or in quarantine, and mommy flat out of ideas). Am actually pretty impressed with kids, they were very bored in a very sweet and cheerful way and completely omitted to… Continue reading Good, bad, whatever

Not the *best* week

19 April 202118 April 2021 woollythinker1 Comment

Things are just a bit hard sometimes. Last week was fine all in all, stuff got done, life got lived in that everyday kind of way, but the weekend was a bit hard. First there was the emotional hangover from a job interview on Friday: the kind where I feel great at the time, it… Continue reading Not the *best* week

Everyone's got their Stuff right now. Maybe not problems exactly, but somehow everyone in this little family is experiencing something that is very THEM. For the kids, it's very particular growing up things. For the parents, it's very particular us things. M, for instance, has been struggling with Bad Feelings (TM); meaning, he needs to… Continue reading Evvybody gots PROBLEMZ

Hoarding as a genetic trait

5 April 2021 woollythinkerLeave a comment

I have achieved greatness this weekend: both kids have properly tidy rooms. All surfaces cleared, AND a big wardrobe clear-out. By which I mean, I have reviewed each and every item to see what's wearable and fits and suits their current tastes. Unsurprisingly, this has resulted in more than half of C's clothes being ditched,… Continue reading Hoarding as a genetic trait

Prime number

29 March 2021 woollythinkerLeave a comment

I am now 45, a solidly middle-aged number, or as you might say, I am in my prime. I must admit to not feeling very prime. I feel a bit like I did at 29: okay with ageing in principle, but not really convinced that I am where I "should" be at this point in… Continue reading Prime number

Rory’s going to Yale!

23 March 2021 woollythinkerLeave a comment

We've just had a three-day weekend that felt more like four, at least. Friday was C's birthday AND the day she got her Gymi letter – she's in. So she coasted on the high of that news, right through her celebration (two friends over for a Gilmore-worthy movie night, with all the sweets in the… Continue reading Rory’s going to Yale!

Stoopid body, stoopid head

15 March 2021 woollythinkerLeave a comment

So skiing sucked. That is, the holiday was lovely, the mountains were stunning and full of snow, the weather was beautiful, and the rest of the family had a brilliant time on skis. Me, I stood on skis feeling quite amazingly NO. I went up a tiny hill, I went down a tiny hill, I… Continue reading Stoopid body, stoopid head

Peak uncertainty

8 March 20217 March 2021 woollythinkerLeave a comment

The peak of the title being an actual mountain, where we are headed for the next week for a supposed ski break. However the weather is looking extremely uncertain; at this point we can't tell whether we'll be enjoying perfect powder (supposedly the conditions right now), or sunny slush, or constant rain. Who knows! It's… Continue reading Peak uncertainty

Waiting for the miracle to come: 1.3.2021

1 March 2021 woollythinkerLeave a comment

"Sie werden rechtzeitig informiert" must be one of the most infuriating sentences in the language, and somehow, so very Swiss. What if I'm not informed in good time? What if the letter isn't delivered? What counts as "in good time": at what point do I need to start chasing? What if the payment hasn't been… Continue reading Waiting for the miracle to come: 1.3.2021

The week in numbers, 22.2.21

22 February 2021 woollythinkerLeave a comment

ELEVEN: the high temperature over the weekend. Eleven glorious degrees! Sunshine you can actually feel! Which would be even more welcome if we didn't still have a ski holiday coming up. Our town always gets a very late slot in the Sportferien rotation, is unfortunate but there it is. Obviously it's a weird year for… Continue reading The week in numbers, 22.2.21
